Selection Of Seeds.
Practical Farmer.I

The failure of seeds to germipate is a
source of great deal of irritation whenever
it occurs and it sometimes involves serious
loss TO the farmer. Replanting can be re-
sorted to in case of failure, but it requires
time and labor, both OF which are particu-
larly valuable IN the spring, Besides, it al
most invariably fails to fully remedy the diff
ficulty which 1t was designed to meet. In
the case of onions, failure of the seed is
equivalent to a heavy loss, for late sowing
Will not give a full crop. To quite an extent
the same is true OF oats and in less, though
very perceptible degree, it applies to other
farm and garden crops.
In order to avoid the vexation and loss iu-
separable to such failure, il is we'll to test
sample of each kind of seed that Is TO be
sown, for the appearance Of seeds is not
correct indication of their value. They may
yet by age, or exposure to heat or moisture,
they may have lost their vitality. Many
seeds are Injured by some mistake in drying,
or by being stored in an improper place.
Therefore, it is always best to try sample
before the seeds are sown.
The seeds can be tested in cold frame in
box or well-prepared earth placed IN some
sunny position, or even in the house, If they
are needed before they can be tried by the
other methods. This plan seems preferable
TO testing in damp cotton, because it comes
nearer the conditions which will prevail In
the soil. BY planting 1O0 or some other
definite number of seeds, and counting the
plants which appear, pretty accurate
opinion On the proportion which will grow
in field can be formed. The test should be
very carefully made. Otherwise really good
seeds may be condemned as worthless.

How to Have the Best Bacon.
Tseottlsh AgricuIlural Gazette

ioSOttl5u ASIlcOlturdl OdAeLke.I
If "a Subscriber" wishes to have the best
bacon, she has but to follow the following
directions: Assuming that the pig has been
properly fed, for you can not have the best
bacon from a earbagefed beast, we will take
as an exampI ten score pig-that is. weigh
ing eco pOuDds-sDd then the quantities can
be regulated according TO weight. Sprinkle
covering OF salt over each piece and lay
them in tub, where they will remain for
twenty -four hours. Take ont and pour away
the brine that has been made. Next powder
about half a pound of ssltpeter, and rub this
thinly over the pieces, thus giving an extra
dose of saltpetre at the openings. Then
rub in about one pound of brown sugar.
and follow with a moderate dose of salt.
Lay the pieces in the tub, and sprinkle a
little salt over each. Take them out every
alternate day, and give them rub over with
the brine that will be found in the bottom of
the tub, and in putting them back reverse
the positions of the pieces so as to bring each
TO the bottom IN turn, one time with the
sward down, the next with the sward I'D.
The fiitches should remain IN the tub a
week, the shoulders a fortnight, and the
hams three weeks. / am writing Of a 200
pound pig, and larger or smaller ones must
be regulated accordingly. When fnally
taken out, wash the bacon with an almost
dry cloth dipped in tepid water, wipe dry,
sprinkle little oatmeal over il, and hang
up TO the kitchen ceiling to dry. Where
there ere openings in the shoulders, at the
shank, etc, dust a little pepper, and IL a
dark room is available, when dry, hang
them there, and no further precaution Is
needed, for flies will not enter q dark room.

adherent to the seed, last May put the sets
for four rows into very dilute solution of
carbolic acid in water, and let them remain
in it about an hour. When dug these rows
and those adjoining, all Of good productive
white sort, there was not much difference as
to scab, all having some of it; but the rows
from dipped sets were injured rather the
least. There is, however, decided differ
ence in regard to rot-only two tubers were
affected visibly in those four rows, while in
others many we're damaged. But as lone
swallow does not make summer" so one
trial does not test a process, and the
carboliziEg must be tried again. Ex-
perienee here seems TO show that the
scab is caused by Larvae whose term of life
expires early in August, They come with
some sorts OF animal manures, il not already
in the soil. Where soil from the grading of
a houseyard was hauled to a potato patch
and spread over part of it the scab was gen.
eral so far as that went. In the earliest dug
potatoes a small, active, many-legged and
two-horned almost transparent caterpillar
like grub was found, by the aid OF mag
infer, in some of the deeper scab cavities.
Excrement remained in abundant droppings.
The tuber is entirely good excepting the
portions eaten out, and the film of scab is
easily scrapsd away. Some rows OF the same
ground had about quart Of coal ashes put
into the fuTrow at each hill, and the sets
were buried in it, AS far as that reached
the tubers were fair and clean, with very
little exception, and there were bat very few
cases of rot.

Carr of Emes

Practical Farmer" in the London Agri-
cultural Gazette, gives the following as
among principal items in the abuse of the
flock
~ Improper dieting. (2) insufficient
food. 81 Want of regular exercise. az Too
much cTowding and knocking about when
close TO lambing. (5) Overlooking before
lambing. (6) DIGGING or startling ewes by
a careless shepherd.
1t is advised that the ewes be fed in such a
manner that their health and condition be
maintained and kept regular. The demand
upon the eve increases as the fo,tuS grows;
therefore the stOckmaster must keep pace
with the necessities Of The case.
As to care, as the lamb approaches lamb
ing time, too high condition should be
avoided, and yet poverty should be guarded
against. The experience of tue writer die
tates the following, which will apply quite
as practically in the United Ste es where
dry food is chiefly used in winter, as in En-
gland, where roots are largely used in win
ter, wherein it is stated:
If / think my ewes too heshy, l rather
stint them than otherwise for about week
before Landing. To any which are IN
doubtedly too fat, l give dose of opening
medicine, maybe three days before we ex-
pect them to lamb; it reduces the liability to
Inflammation and straining. After the eve
has quite recovered from the effects of lamb
ing, end is out of danger, believe the better
you IeSO the DeILer results you Will nave In
the lamb. One great difficulty had with
my shepherd at first was TO keep him from
overlooking the eve from the time she had
recovered from what would call the labor.
No sooner had she satisfied herself with her
lamb than he began to give all manner of
good things. This is a great error land my
nerd saw it,. Until six or seven days are
over don't think danger is passed. You
don't want bursting udder for two ne WY
born lambs, much less for one; you only
cause uneasiness to the eve, and if you don't
hanC-milk IN such a case. the eve may 60
wrong in that dir ection. Ewes treated on
this system will drop the finest Of lambs big
and strong and healthy, a good color, full Of
firm flesh, able to stand exposure almost at
once-you will have no little white cripples,
and no nursing to do, nor warming at the
fire; that Is, comparatively speaking, your
ewes will get over their troubles easily and
your skin buyer will not fnd his presence
required as much as when he visited you in
the tour-course days"

QUO WARRANrO ACTION.
senatOr smith Brings the Lieutenant-SioV-
ernOr Question Before the Circuit Court

A movement again offering full and fair
opportunity Of an orderly, legal settlement
of the Lieutenant Governor question was yes
terday instituted by President Smith, of the
Senate. This is by way of an action in the
Marion Circuit Court in the nature of quo
warrsnto, though praying an injunction, and
combining legal features not purely in the
nature of the action above indicated. All
the facts of the complication are recited, and
the relief asked is an injunction against any
attempt on the part of Colonel Robertson to
preside at the joint convention for the cleo
ton of Senator next Wednesday.
Colonel Robertson was served last night
with the papers, and stated that the defense
could not be outlined until he consulted
with his attorneys, Messrs. Miller, Elan and
Kitchener, this morning at S clock. They
will appear in court at o'clock and take the
first steps for defense. The gentleman does
not think the court has any jurisdiction, but
will nevertheless defend. 1t was suggested
to him that by a noncompliance
now he might raise the ques-
ton of contempt and get the
que stion of jurisdiction at issue immedi-
ately. To this he responded that in certain
contingency he would give occasion for a
contempt if the court had any jurisdiction.
The only probable inference from this is that
the contingency is that he should be tempo
rarily restrained from presiding over the
Joint convention for election of Senator, in
which event he will disobey the order and
attempt to preside.

best in preparing his flock for the shambles.
The main business now is to lay on fat, and
the birds should have, every night and
morning, full supply of nutritious and
fattening food. 1nstinctively the turkey
follows his feed, and if the supply is album
dant at the farm-yard, he will not stroll far
from home. Boiled potatoes, mashed and
mixed with meal, and fed moderately warm,
is a very excellent feed, both to promote
growth and to fatten. IL the pigs
can be robbed of a part of their
milk, and il it be mixed with a part
OF the hot potatoes and meal, it will
very much improve the dish. 1t is very de.
sirable to supply the place OF insects with
some kind of animal food, and butchers
scraps is one of the cheapest and most desir-
able forms of food for poultry. Grain should
be given at least once a day with the soft
and warm food. Nothing is better than
sound corn. Old corn should always be
used for this purpose. The new corn keeps
them TOO loose. In feeding, only so much
corn should be thrown out as the birds will
eat up clean. Take a little time to feed
them, and study aesthetics as you watch the
irridescent huss upon the glossy plumage.
There is nothing more charming upon the
farm in the whole circle of the year than a
hundred or two of these richly-bronzed tur-
keys feeding near a corn-crib. You can af-
ford to enjoy the disappearance OF corn while
the turkeys are increasing in weight. Dreams
Of full wallet at Thanksgiving and Christ
mas will not harm you as you Look on this
interesting sight

More Food.


Fodder-corn is becoming more and more
an essential crop on the farms. In no way
can so much bulk of food be produced at so
little cost. 1t fills the silo the fastest, and il
goes the furthest when cured. The moving
machine renders the cutting more laborious,
which may be made even less by utilizing
the reaper. The old-time bush scythe, when
welded by a strong arm, will lay down a
large breadth of it. 1t is the par excellence
the American forage plant, and we want
more OF it. We should have 10 to bridge
over the summers drouth and TO make up
for the overfed pasture. 1t will help out the
autumn and fill the demands Of winter. 1t
should be known that in cold weather it is
not complete food, but lacks in heat-pro-
ducing properties. These should be supplied
in other forms, or stock will only live and
perhaps get poorer a little corn-meal fed
with cornstalks will balance up the ration.
In all cases there should be some fat forming
foods along with the Cornstalks. Farmers
no doubt have noticed that cornstalks will
increase the flow of milk, but it will lack in
butter fats. This want may be supplied by
feedingcorn, linseed or cot on seedmeal, or
other grams. 1t is economy to give the cows
some extra food with the fodder corn, and
so supply sll Of the wants Of The system and
prevent depletion.

Room for Gratitude.

pause for grateful reflections, as the New

A tbree-pin dog in five-quart muzzle of

yesterday morning, just after the rain, when
he came to g small excavation. This he
mistook for an ordinary puddle, and walked
into it. The heavy muzzle carried his nose
to the bottom, and only his tail remained
visible.

Dairy schools in Europe.

Dairy schools are becoming Popular in

where dairying can be learned. The first
school of this kind was started in 1880
in Munster, Ireland, and has become so pop

have received instruction since the school
opened, and Mr. I. A. Forster, one 0i tue in-
spectors of the Cork butter market, says that
"a very decided improvement has taken
place in the manufacture of butter through

Over-Estimates in Poultry.
tAmerican Agriculturist.l

Because poultry is claimed to pay large
profits in proportion to the amounts inves ted
therein, ii does not follow that all who ven
ture in the poultry business will get rich or
make money. II requires capital to conduct
great enterprises, and If large amounts are
expected, large sums must be invested. 1t
is a mistake to mislead persons into the be-
lief that there are enormous profits in poul-
try. But Few persons have large
sums invested, and test has
never yet been made as to what
could really be accomplished. Those who
succeed know that 1t is the man or woman,
and not always the birds, that make success.
Like any other business, one must thorough
ly understand 1t. Keeping a few focks of
fowls and venturing upon the management
Of thousands are different operations A
small flock can be well kept where thousands
could not exist. Yet there are no imp0ssi-
bilities. and as we progress in the art OF poul-
try raising the business becomes easier and
more perfectly understood.

indication of the qualities of the animal,
the hair is made of value to the breeder
or feeder. Fine, silky hair, especially If
il has a tendency to curl, is an indlca-

Such hair usually accompanies a bad dis
